Utilitarianist philosophy is almost exclusively eastern and far more profound in eastern schools than in the west.
This list is essentially for western philosophers who came up with something remotely original or progressed a field well.

Not snobbish, just plain facts. Philosophy is a huge subject. Some things the western philosophers were more developed at, some things, the eastern philosophers were more developed at. Utilitarian philosophy is where the west doesnt even scratch the surface compared to the east. Individualism is where the east doesnt even come close to the west.
Just an example.
Though i'd say in general, eastern philosophers- the emminent ones- were more comprehensive with their philosophical approach. Which is why philosophers like Buddha or Nagarjuna or Mahavira, Adi Shankara, etc. spawned off/revived religions while western philosophy was in general far more narrow in its focus, operating within the frameworks of religion until Kant came along.

I didnt say they didnt exist- just that they are a lot more 'basic' and simplistic ideas on utilitarianism compared to utilitarianism in the east.
I havnt read Mills but i've read Bentham- and i for one, dont think he even compares to Nagarjuna in utilitarianism philosophy-both in the scope and impact of it.
Just like you wont find many eastern philosophers who'd match Neitzche in his individualism ideologies. Though ultimately you can call me biassed- i do follow a particular school of eastern philosophy/or try to loosely.

Once you've done the years of 'Jews do this' or 'Buddhists do this' it was suddenly a nice change to start looking more towards the hows and whys. I got my highest AS level grade in it but i dropped it anyway, which given how i went through year 13 was probably the best thing.
